others buried his remains at the
Catholic burying ground at Grow

time he married his white wife in
Washington, D. c., and said white

oils, married to white man. The
watch I gave you was taken from
the body Of the deceased Hole-in-
the-day after he was murdered,
and was his property. I got the
watch from the murderers. The
cause for his murder was jealousy
towards him, owing to his draw

DORMANT PROPERTY.
Reservation FIGURING Mills.


About ten years ago, after the
most persuasive argument on the
part of some of our leading peo-
pie aided by good friends of the In
dians at ST. Paul, the Government
appropriated the sum Of $5, 900 for
the erection Of a grist mill; in due
time the mill was built and oper-
ated, and did good service for six
seasons, when the dam gave away
and the rush of water somewhat
undermined the foundation, in
consequence Of which the whole
Of the building, ETC., were thrown
off their perpendicular level and
the mill was therefore untitled to
do further service, or until the
proper repairs should be made.
Three years have since gone by,
and Notwithstanding the repeated
appeals of our people for the re-
pair Of same, nothing has as yet
been done. In the mean time the
ravages of sun and storm outside,
and with rust and moths, and The
army Of rodents gnawing and
mincing inside, its most useful
features will soon be ruined and
worthless. Appropos here, we

Another monumont of waste

with the torn fragments of a
smoke stack still clinging to it's
ricketty fastenings, etc.; and this
is all that remains of a fine plant
established here for the manufac-
ture of syrup and promoting the
cultivation of sorghum cane. Some
nine years ago the Government
appropriated about 81 900 to pur-
chase and operate sorghum mill
for the White Earth reservation,
seed for the raising of cane was
also purchased, and thro' the STIR

one who had planted secured am.
pie to supply family need, some

enterprise proved success in -ev-
cry way, and all hoped the indus
try would be maintained, but alas,
like many another hope it were in
vain. It was said that there was
no funds or means to pay the SER

We understand that about a

purchased hay and wagon scales,
presumably for the use of the
agency and the agency people at
this place, for the purpose of
weighing freight, stock, grain,
hay, etc. These scales have new

are still in the same condition as
when they were first received from
the freight teams and stored in the
agency warehouse, where they
still remain. We further under
stand that several requests have
been made regarding the setting
up Of these scales, but as yet no
steps have been taken towards
putting them in order so that the
people could avail themselves of
their needed convenience, and also
that their value would thereby be-
come of more material interest
than that Of lying idle and occu-
